A quadtrajet computer cannot control TPI. Simple matter of function. Every sensor, ECM, fuel pump, there's more to change that I would be willing to go through.

I wouldn't use a TPI on a 427, either.

Putting TPI on a 427 would be about the same (performace wise) as putting a 2bbl carb on a 427. If you wanna go fast, it just won't work.

The CC Qjet on the 427 could be VERY cool though

But since the 427 is based on a 400 block, would the knock sensor from a 350 work? The bores are 1/8" different...?

If the knock sensor would work, then I'd say go that way. That would be a really hot street mill

I was planning on getting a "Painless Wiring Harness" and ECM for a TPI system. But, i read that by removing the smog pump that a Tpi based car tries to compensate for the temp and air fuel %; thus, stuff gets broke. so, i wanted to know what to do to the ecm so it wouldn't try to alter because of the lack of smog pump. that quad on a 427 does sond pretty cool.
